Even though he has been the highest paid DJ for the past 5 years, Calvin Harris can't catch a break with the Grammy's Academy.

In quite the cheeky Instagram post, Calvin Harris explains that he grew out his beard in order to be accepted in the Grammy pop world and to be taken seriously. In the end, Calvin Harris lost to Greg Kurstin. Read his Instagram post below.

Last year I grew a big ol beard in order to be taken seriously by the Grammys as a producer. It worked to an extent – my Producer the Year nomination came through and I was happy the beard was performing as well as I had hoped. But unfortunately this weekend I learned that even a new beard has its limitations. On Sunday I lost out to the incredible Greg Kurstin. A big ol beard can only take you so far. An important lesson learned that i am happy to pass forward to all you good people. Now my beard is gone, the experiment completed and I can move forward with 2018! God bless and thank you for your support !!!
